(announcer) scottrade. voted "best investment services company." melissa: i'm melissa francis and here's what's "money" tonight. the keystone xl pipeline is one step closer to approval thanks to nebraska's governor. now the fate rests in president obama's hands as pressure on both sides ramps up. north dakota senator john hoeven joins us and why the president can't wait to say yes. golf stars unite. tiger woods feels phil mickelson's pain on california's taxes. with taxes spiking the rich are fleeing for the borders. how much can the state take from the wealthy before there is nothing left?

today's "money" power panel weighs in. >> didn't think new york apartments could get any smaller? oh how wrong you are. micro apartment are coming to the big apple. could the miniature spaces bring big profits to the developers and will they spread to more cities? one of the architects is here with the details. even when they say it's not, it's always about money. melissa: first let's look at the day's market headlines and today's market moment. the beat goes on for the bulls. strong earnings from the likes of ibm, and google helped give a boost to stocks. the dow and s&p 500 hit fresh five-year highs. the blue-chips rose 66 points. apple earnings are sliding after-hours. the company reported fiscal first-quarter earnings just a short time ago, beat expectations on the bottom line. came in a bit light on revenues.

mcdonald's shares climbed. it beat expectations on the top and bottom line in the fourth quarter. also reported a solid rebound in u.s. sales. >> the time has finally come to approve the keystone pipeline. this is about one simple thing, jobs. thousands of jobs to build the pipeline. thousands more forever ining. and many more supported by carrying bakken oil. melissa: that was senator max baucus a short time ago. now that nebraska governor dave heineman has given a green light to the new route for the xl pipeline which was a major victory, it is up to president obama and the state department to give it the final approval. but the white house says that decision won't be coming in the first quarter of this year. the pressure is on and hard and with me now is senator john hoeven from north dakota. obviously a state that cares deeply about this project without question. senator, welcome back to the show.

what do you think? what hurdles have we gotten over and what do we have left in front of us? >> melissa, good to be with you. this is a big hurdle. the administration was concerned about the route through nebraska for the keystone xl pipeline the state of nebraska has now approved a route. the governor signed off on it after an extensive work to make sure that they have covered all the bases and governor heineman sent a letter to the president saying we've got the route. so we're ready to go. we addressed the administration's concerns, and today senator baucus and myself, in one day, pulled together 53 senators on a letter saying to the president, let's go. let's get this important project done for the people of this country. melissa: we know what you want to do. what is your gut though on what you think the president is going to do? >> hard to say. i think he will approve it because this is what the american people want. this is energy. this is jobs. this is economic activity. it will create revenue to

help with the deficit and debt. this is about energy security, energy independence. so we don't have to get oil from the middle east. melissa: you know environmentalists don't like it even though we've taken care of a lot of problems and hurdles we put up in the first place. those have been taken care of. you know environmentalists don't like it. seems like the president is recommitted to battling climate change. he doubled down on green energy. this really doesn't fit into his portfolio of energy options. >> here's thing. there is better environmental stewardship with the project and without it. that oil coming to the united states means lower emissions then sending it to china. it actually means less emissions with the project. i think what we've shown today that the president needs to approve it because it is in the interest of the american people to do so. they don't want to get the energy from the middle east. they want to get it here at home and working with our closest friend and ally canada, and that if the president decides not to approve it, there is strong

bipartisan support in the congress to go ahead and approve it. melissa: do you think there would be blowback on him if he didn't do it? >> oh, definitely he doesn't care. he doesn't have another election coming up. what does he care? >> we've shown today, we asked president obama after 4 1/2 years of addressing all this concerns and then some, to approve it. now if he doesn't move forward and approve it, i think we've shown that there is bipartisan support in the senate as well as the house it pass the legislation to authorize the project to go forward. i have got 58 votes. i had 58 people supporting the legislation last year. think if the president turns it down this time, i think that we can get the bipartisan sawn support to approve it. melissa: go ahead without him. is that possible? >> i think so. i think that's what we're showinging. there is broad bipartisan support because the american people want this project. they want the energy. they want the jobs. we don't want to be, look what is going on in the

middle east. look at the hearings today on benghazi. look what is going on in syria and in iran. we don't want to be dependent on the middle east. melissa: no. absolutely. when you look at a map of the pipeline, he likes to say that he, the president, that he already approved the lower portion of it, the southern portion, that connects cushing to the gulf coast. it is this northern portion that now, is up to, is up for approval. the state department said early on they thought they were going to be able to review the plan in the first quarter. now they backtracked on that. they said it is not enough time. do you feel like that is a bad sign? >> what we're asking the administration is tell us what he will do. what is the timeline. we've asked for a meeting here. we want to meet with him had. let's talk about it. now that nebraska has approved the route, now that we've addressed the administration's concerns, tell us what you're going to do. melissa: okay. >> and again, i mean this is a project that the american people want. melissa: yeah.

we'll keep us posted. thanks for coming on. >> thanks so much, melissa. melissa: time to check the fuel gauge. oil futures posted their biggest loss in a month. following a four-month high and expected drop in demand from oil refineries helped increase the decline. oil slid down 1% at $95.23 a barrel. it feels like the north pole across much of the country. a forecast calls for mild temperatures next week. whoo-hoo. maybe the possibility of lower demand as a result. libya is beefing up security at its oil facilities. the move comes after the deadly algerian hostage crisis last week. libya says it will send more troops to guard its border with algeria. the other big story is the votes are in and the house of representatives agreed to work for free. the final vote, 285-144. they agreed to raise the country's debt limit, till

may. if there is no budget by april 15th their paychecks will be held back. will they feel the pain if this happens? i don't know. joining me former senator from indiana, evan bayh. fox news contributor. we're always happy to have you on. >> melissa, great to be back with you again. melissa: what do you think about all this? it sound very tantalizing to people out in the audience to say you will not get paid unless you come up with a budget. most people if they don't do their work they don't get paid but does it really have an impact do you think? >> well it can have an impact. it is sad we have to resort to these sorts of gimics in. my initial reaction if congress doesn't get paid the american people may think we got what we paid for. there is too much gridlock and dysfunction right now. we've got to get the budget under control. we can't continue to spend the kind of money we're spending and run up the debts we're spending. it is not right for the economy. it is not good for our children. its sad we have to have a gimmick like this. some members are a quite

wealthy, there are a few of them, won't care. but a good many members after month or two their spouses will say to them, what are you doing you knucklehead. they have to have a solution. melissa: this is another time the american public looks at it, wow, feels like you put off the work that you need to do. we said we will raise the debt ceiling for a couple months and, you know, there you go. we haven't gotten any of the real work done? >> it was a short-term punt but i think it was pretty shrewd move by the republicans because you can't default on our debt. if interest rates went up even slightly the amount of interest we would have to pay on our $16 trillion debt would be enormous. you can't do that. it would be shooting ourself in the foot. they tried closing down the government back in the 1990s. that didn't didn't work too well. they're focusing on what is called the sequester, which are across the board spending reductions. that's where i think they will make their stand. we'll have a good robust debate about the level of

spending we'll have in this country. the cuts in the sequester are too much for the pentagon for republicans to like. that will be focus rather than having republicans blamed for defaulting on the debt or shutting down the government. that was a shrewd move on their part. melissa: everybody talks about we need to get entitlement spending uncontrol. we need to balance our books, seems like it but also seems like no one is really serious about doing that, republicans included. you're an inside guy who got frustrated with the process and left. do you think any politicians in washington are sincerely committed to reforming entitlements, even the republicans? >> well, there are a few. i mean people who put the long-term best interests of the country ahead of short term political expediency but it is hard, melissa. because most of these folks want to get reelected. they need to be popular and difficult to be popular if you tell people we have to trim medicare, social security. we'll have to raise taxes. people don't like to do those things. the path of least resistance is to borrow more money.

you can't do that anymore. it is not right but the path of least resistance. only when the public, your viewers stand up and say enough already. we've got to get the budget back more towards balance. that they will realize the smart politics is also the right substance and that is to get these deficits under control. melissa: you know you have been inside the tent on the democratic side as they are strategizing. you know how they think. what tips would you give to republicans to try and gain, you know, some sort of bargaining power? because it feels like they have no hand to play. that is what a lot of people are thinking. what could they do right now to give themselves any or even a little more leverage? >> well i think they have taken the right step here already, melissa. the president and the democrats in congress were on the high ground when they were saying you can't default on the debt. you can't close down the government and let's just ask the wealthy in the country to do a little bit more. those things are all very popular and supported by the american public. but the republicans now have flipped it, well, spending is really the problem. my guess is that most people

would say yeah, we're probably spending a little too much. so can you solve the entire problem with spending cuts? maybe not but at least that is a good place to begin. now republicans are focusing on that. somewhat bee heat -- belatedly they got to the point where they have greater impact and certainly did before the end of the year when it was all about tax increase. >> senator, thanks for coming on. always a pleasure. >> great to be with you, melissa. melissa: coming up on "money", think the whole debate in washington is games manship? three times word series of poker winner could not agree. he joins us on who is the running the table and who should cash out while they still can. plus tiger roars his support for phil mickelson over california taxes. when will the golden state finally run out of rich people to squeeze? we'll take it to today's power panel. more "money" straight ahead. officemax can help you drive supply costs down...

melissa: watching these debt debates take place in washington makes you wonder are these guys really acting in the best interests of the mile-per-hour people or is it all just a game to them. >> i guess i'm not the only

one because three-time world series of poker event champion matt matros think all the politicians fighting over the debt ceiling looks suspiciously like some of the people he bets against at the poker table. professional poker player matt is here and let's get right to it. one player everyone knows, who do you think the worst bluffer in the whole debt ceiling game? >> well the worst bluffer is where the republicans who are actually threatening not to raise the debt ceiling. in poker the only way a bluff can work, the only way it is credible if the other player actually believes you have a strong hand. but in the case of the republicans here we all know what would happen if they didn't raise the debt ceiling. it would be a total catastrophe. that bluff didn't make any sense at all. at least to their credit they're altering the ultimate solution. melissa: i couldn't disagree with you more. they could shut down the government. it has been done before. >> it is more than shuttings down the government if they don't raise the debt ceiling there are so many people expecting payments veterans, soldiers, the --.

melissa: but they get to decide who they pay and they don't. they could decide to pay those people and -- >> a lot harder, very, very hard to decide who they pay and who they don't. logistics are total nightmare. there are billions upon billions of computerized payments. if you want to code it and figure out how you get money to certain people and not others that sound like a catastrophe. it could happen when they even threatened not to raise the debt ceiling around our credit was downgraded and the markets really tumbled. you don't want to i can take the chance. no way the republicans would take that chance. melissa: maybe you don't. a nit is very risk-averse person? >> in poker a 19 is someone that folds every hand. they wait for the perfect chance to get money in. problem is nits never win tournaments. they have to actually risk something in order to see that value. melissa: who is the nit in this? >> everyone. they're all nits. everyone involved is a nit.

the reason i say that. they're waiting until the very end to come up with a deal rather than propose someing long time ago, look six months ahead. we can do something good for the country if we act right now to avoid the crisis instead of have a patchwork deal at the last minute. seems like these guys are trading -- trying to make themselves look as good as they can the best interests of the country is not in their minds. melissa: i think you know is the biggest well cher is, someone who wouldn't race the debt ceiling. who is best at floating. >> in floating, i have sort of a not great hand but there are still a few bets to come i might call a bet for my opponent and wait and see what happens to decide to make a big bluff. >> like the sound of that. >> it was a good move by boehner and the republicans to float on new year's day, they said, for now we'll agree to these tax increases but we're going to wait. we'll try to make our move a little later when we get more information to what it

would really mean to make the bluff. their float turned out well because they decided before it came to a head their big bluff wouldn't work and came up with a best plan. melissa: you talk about who the best rail bird is. the person doesn't participate in the game but sitting on the side commenting. you say it is bernanke. i think it is me. that is all we do here. we're the ultimate rail birds. my whole job is built on being a rail bird. i sit on the sidelines -- >> fox business is definitely would be the best rail birds in all of this. i think you have a very good case to make for that. melissa: what advice wod you give to republicans because you're a championship poker player? they seem to have a weak hand but there is always a way to win so what would you tell them? what should they do? >> well if i were playing this hand as kind after long-term strategy. both side need to be willing to take on more risk. if republicans were willing to risk maybe looking at some ways to, you can cut spending in certain places but maybe they would be willing to put money in

certain programs that work. melissa: they already did that they took a risk. they already said okay, go ahead we'll agree to raising taxes and we'll sit down and cut spending. they got burned on that. i feel like they already took a risk. what would be a risk now? >> i don't feel they got burned by agreeing to tax increases they did. if they agree to more of those risks if in long term the economy recovers that will be best situation for any politician in office. if the economy is good, that how you get reelected in this country. melissa: apparently not. economy is terrible and someone got reelected. thanks for being on. >> thanks for having me, i appreciate it. melissa: phil mickelson gets tiger woods in his corner over california taxes. when will they stop this brutal slice of the rich? our power panel has the answers. boeing's nightmare just won't end. investigators struggle to find a cause to find the lithium-ion battery fires. can they truly be tested to

thing we've seen consistently since the election. federal taxes have gone up. smart governors jump into the fold. this is my chance to attract business and attract some wealthy individuals. i'm going to put the push on to get rid of a corporate tax or personal income tax and maybe to people who are very sensitive and are so wealthy they have the power to move, i can attract them to my state. we're seeing it in places like nebraska and louisiana piling on. this is an opportunity? >> governor perry in texas is famous going on hunting trips to california where he visits ceos. melissa: right. >> gives them a cell phone. here is my personal number. call me anytime. tell me what i can do to attract you to texas. we have several states with

offices set up in california because we're so vulnerable here. hundreds of companies leave every year. you make a good point about phil mickelson has options. so do a lot of companies. they can go elsewhere and do out of california. melissa: is that story about governor perry true? i heard that before. do governors have hair their own cell phone? >> he does. literally gives cell phone, has one number programmed. call me anytime. tell me what i can do. our leaders are not doing that, they're dismissive about companies leaving. they say it is not happening. they're arow gant about why someone would want to live elves where from california. the weather is great but at some point you have to move elsewhere if the taxes are too high. >> it will hold you for a while. there are 37 million people. i was laughing when you mentioned nebraska. i grew up in the 1960s. we had three referenda. abolished all taxes in the state of nebraska. nobody seemed to know the

difference. we had representation without taxation. a lot of states will experiment doing that what level of taxes do i need for the things that make my state grow? highway system. transportation system. public education system. goes back to the articles of confederation. states will make that kind of decision. not everyone has the permanent me an basin that texas has to fund its education system. there will be some give-and-take. melissa: that is the flip side. states down the road do away with taxes, does the state fall apart? >> we independent fall apart. we had to figure out a way to pay for the highway patrol. i think that states are searching for a balance. i think, good thing that can come out of this budget debate, both the state level and local level, what really can government do constructively and how much are we willing to pay to have them do it. melissa: yeah. >> deal with the past pension problems that are a big part of the state is the money they didn't spend in the past because they promised to spend in the

future. big problem. states will have to figure out how to deal with that locality. this is a healthy debate i think. melissa: dave, give you the last word. do you agree with that? >> i do agree with that. i think the opportunity is governors will go hunting for people that want to live in their states and tax burden will become too high for people and start to take the governors up on that. >> great panel. thanks to all of you for joining us. we appreciate it. up next investigators are baffled over the boeing dreamliner's lithium-ion battery problems with officials scratching their heads, can the battery ever be trusted to get planes back in the friendly skies? plus when closest-sized apartments just won't do, here comes the micro apartment. one. developers joins with us a breakthrough design. you have got to see it.

do you do? they're tough customers. if they start to burn, or, if they start to overheat. in that case, you either contain the fire, which is what boeing designers did. they contained it and then they vent it. the other way, you try to put it out. but with, with suppression. it is very difficult challenge with these types of batteries. i think they have their hands full. i think they will figure it out. melissa: going forward if you are designing a plane today. let's use the battery? >> i think the answer is yes. airbus is moving forward, with their own advanced version, the a350. that will rely on increased electronics. they will have to rely on lithium batteries as well. they may take a different approach. they may look towards suppression as opposed to containment, but, if you want the increased economics, if you want to have a less

of a carbon footprint, if you want to have greater creature comforts, this is the way you're going to have to go. melissa: i don't know. unless you want to fly and you're really bent on flying. maybe you don't want to buy one of these planes. michael dell put in an order for a 787. probably doesn't matter to him if he buy as plane that doesn't work. he will trade it out for a different one. you think all the bad pr hurts sales going forward? do you think the people in the industry say to themselves these are the normal hiccups that come with a new design? >> it has not hurt sales so far. melissa: so far. >> 767 when introduced their reliability rates scheduled reliability during the first year was in the low 90s. the triple 7 when it was introduced had a 98% reliability level. so far the dreamliner has had close to a 98% reliability record. so it proven to be a good

♪ . melissa: so like they say in manhattan, if you have enough space here you're either really rich or really small. fortunately for those who aren't either of those, there is a new way to get your own small slice of the big apple. introducing micro apartments. new york city mayor michael bloomberg brought us so many great innovations. announcing my micro new york, winner of adapt new york city contest. the goal was to come up with the most space efficient apartment design. here is break down itty bity

details is the part of the development team. we've been talking about it in the office. everyone loves it. it was on twitter. everyone is abuzz because it seems almost impossible for a person to live in 250 square feet. how small is that? what is a normal studio or one bedroom. >> first ask, are you new yorker this. melissa: i am. i'm a new yorker. i live in a small space. there is lot of upside. you don't keep a lot of junk. you throw out more because you don't have a lot of space but 250 square feet is small. >> it is small. most of the units are larger. average is 285 and range up to 370. but they're definitely small. melissa: what was the biggest challenge. >> my wife and i who is my partner when we lived in new york in 1999 we lived in 350 square foot apartment. know the challenge. the challenge is not to dictate people's create activity to fill their lives and paint their canvases in the space and provide a menties. melissa: how does that do

that in english? >> in english not architecture speak. we have what you need on one side, tool box. what you do with it. a very simple space without clutter. nine, 10 foot ceilings. juliet balcony. you have a nine foot tall. >> balcony creates illusion of space without taking anything up. doors slide to the side. don't come in. that takes care one of the problems. you can't step out on it. >> you can't. but glass is so tall makes your living room partly outdoors. melissa: so i saw in a lot of the illustration you had a bed that pulls down where the living room, i'm trying to imagine how this is possible. so there is a couch area. but the bed pulls down. what do you do with the couch stuff when you pull the bed down? >> depends who you are. there is so little furniture. there is lots of way to be efficient in a space like that, murphy bed pull up, pull out a table. have a dinner for six to eight people. melissa: eight people. eight very small people. >> yeah. melissa: there's a full-size bathroom. there is tub in this apartment?

i don't understand how that is possible. >> by code the bathrooms have to be accessible. it is a full-sized bathroom. almost as big as --. melissa: we should tell people that the prices will, these are rentals. this was part of the contest. they wanted it to be a rental. it is going for before 940 and $1800 a month. that 1800 was for the two person apartment, which is a, not a two bedroom. there are different specifications if you're one person versus two people. so two people can fit into 250 square feet? >> actually just to clarify. 40% of the apartments are revived for lower middle income. 20% are for 80% ami, or area median income and other 20% for 145 to 155% of area median income. others are market rates. developer who is a wonderful partner, and the whole team who is building it they will be determining this down the line. melissa: you're a new yorker. i'm a new yorker. what do you think the reaction is going to be to this? you think people come in,

wow, this is really tiny space, are you kidding? >> look, i'm sure there are many opinions and clearly, you know there are options where one can live. but, our role as architects to make it as humane a as possible and allow people to live beyond the four walls really. melissa: yeah. >> there are a lot of public spaces in the building. melissa: that is part of secret. there is common areas. there is different things if you want to get out of your closet, slash, apartment, you go somewhere else in the building. >> we see it as russian dolls. you don't live in the four walls. you live on the floor. melissa: in your neighbor's apartment maybe. maybe borrow some space. that would work. >> you probably know your neighbors like this. melissa: is there any closet space? >> there is. melissa: pretty much like this. you nodded it is like this? >> it is a standard closet but there is 16 feet of linear storage above. melissa: for the surfboard. >> sure. melissa: thanks for coming on. we appreciate it. well-done. here is our "money" question of the day. would you live in a micro
